Create lavender bed & plant supports for 2 Gites - Longere - le Grand Pressigny


Before - sleepy cat, grass up to edge of practical but ugly concrete path along front of longere which is divided into two 2 bedroom holiday rental cottage.

The front of the building offers very little shade in south facing courtyard in summer and the right hand cottage 'Noix' has no other 'private' outdoor space.

The aim is to provide some shade, fragrance, increase feeling of privacy within communal courtyard.

Pergola over each entrance with range of clematis/vines to provide shade & flower between April and October.

Strip bed of lavender, underplanted with range of alliums to provide drought tolerant and fairly low maintenance flowering between April and October.

This will provide additional interest with butterflies & bees hovering in the lavender during summer and will provide an excellent morning coffee spot or evening apero/owl watching spot for guests staying in Noix!
